Criminal Justice (Community Service) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2011 - Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Apr 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...are not high skill jobs. A look at any of our footpaths throughout the country would indicate these are tasks that should be carried out. A great number of derelict sites are under the control of NAMA. These could be cleaned and tidied up and changed into allotments or public spaces until such time as the economy bounces back. The parks department of the county council and the OPW...

Departmental Offices (30 Mar 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...that the Department sought to acquire such buildings through the OPW. Will some of these be rented from companies such as Treasury Holdings, which owe the State a great deal of money through NAMA and so on, or will they be purchased outright by the Department? The Minister made the point that the Department is aware of some of the changes needed. Currently, some social welfare offices...

Requests to move Adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 (19 Jan 2011)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...within two years. The Government should now take the first steps towards delivering a sufficient volume of social housing, including though the transfer to local authorities of suitable NAMA properties, a dedicated revenue stream for supported accommodation and a new youth homelessness strategy. Action on homelessness cannot wait for an election. The current Government must commence...

Criminal Justice (Public Order) Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed) (10 Jun 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...á na daoine seo anois ar an ghannchuid agus iad an-bocht de thoradh na polasaithe a ghlacadh le tamall anuas agus de bharr go bhfuil an oiread sin d'airgead an phobail dírithe ar na bancanna agus NAMA in ionad a bheith dírithe ar déileáil le bun fadhbanna ár sochaí nó leis an cheist i dtaobh an fáth go bhfuil na daoine seo bocht sa chéad áit. Feiceann muid agus feicfidh muid...

Central Bank Reform Bill 2010: Second Stage (Resumed). (27 Apr 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: .... Has it sought to minimise the consequences for Ireland of the activities of this organisation? It has not done so to date. In fact, the Fianna Fáil-led Government sought an endorsement of the NAMA plans from Goldman Sachs and it has been happy to rely on that ever since. Is that a flawed endorsement? Is it to benefit Goldman Sachs? Is Goldman Sachs betting against us? Is it...

Written Answers — Mortgage Arrears: Mortgage Arrears (21 Apr 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Question 116: To ask the Minister for Finance if he will take the legislative or other steps necessary to oblige banks availing of NAMA to write off the difference between the purchase price of the dwelling and its current market value for those households with mortgages taken out on primary residences since 2004 up to €500,000 in view of the growing negative equity problems in conjunction...

Banking System: Motion (30 Mar 2010)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...im mhídhaonlathach inniu, go háirithe toisc go bhfuil an Rialtas ag ceangal an oiread sin de thodhchaí an Stáit seo le dul chun cinn na mbanc agus leis an sealúchas atá tar éis dul isteach i NAMA go dtí seo. It is rare that I speak on finance motions. In a way, like many other citizens, I found it difficult to get to grips with the full scale of the horror that emerged when the...

Committee and Remaining Stage (17 Dec 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ..., is in Irish in the first place. In the past 20 years or so the State seems to have moved towards giving primacy to the English language title in all its new institutions or boards. For example, NAMA is now the common word rather than NUBS, which would be the Irish abbreviation of the title. That is one that comes to mind but there are others. If we accept that the Irish language is...

Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2009: Second Stage (8 Dec 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...derelict sites on which a sod has never been turned. The fiasco is a prime example of how business is conducted in this State. When discussing this Bill it is uncanny that we have the backdrop of NAMA, which is aimed at rescuing banks and protecting developers. The demise of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority is quite apt in this context. I wish I could say we have learned our...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (5 Nov 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...seo. Measaim go bhfuil sé truamhéalach nach dtuigeann an Rialtas cad go díreach atá i gceist anseo. Bhí mé ag argóint inné gur cheart dúinn an ainm Gaeilge, GNuBS, a úsáid in ionad NAMA. Tá luachaíocht á thabhairt don chaimiléireacht a tharla sa Stáit seo le 20 nó 30 bliain. Seachas luach an margadh fad-téarmacha íoc, ba chóir go mbeadh an luach reatha á íoc. Níl...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report Stage (4 Nov 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...n, gur chóir go mbeadh an teideal ar aon eagras atáá bhunú ag an Stáit i nGaeilge sa chéad áit, seachas sa dara háit mar a bhíonn i gcónaí. Sa chás seo, tá gach éinne ag caint faoi "NAMA" seachas an "Gníomhaireacht Náisiúnta um Bainistíocht Sócmhainní". Le tamall de bhlianta anuas, tá an Stáit ag bogadh i dtreo Béarla de shíor. Tá an leasú seo os ár gcomhair...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report Stage (4 Nov 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Ba mhaith liom foláireamh a thabhairt don Aire. Má tá cás tógtha i gcoinne an reachtaíocht seo gan leagan Gaeilge ar fáil, d'fhéadfadh an ghníomhaireacht NAMA ar fad titim go huile is go hiomlán. Is é sin an fáth gur chóir go mbeadh an Bille dhátheangach ó thús.

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report Stage (4 Nov 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...believe the functions set out are reasonable given the enormous amount of money about which we are speaking, namely, the €54 billion of taxpayers' money that is being committed to GNuBS, which is NAMA as gaelige, although I believe NAMA rolls easier of the tongue than GNuBS. Also we have recapitalised the banks and may have to do so again in the future. While I accept the list of...

Mortgage Arrears: Motion (3 Nov 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...personal wealth hidden away which will not see the light of day here. We on the Opposition side of the House are being encouraged by the Government to support the bailout of these people through NAMA. What should happen is that empty and completed houses all around the country should be confiscated and given to local authorities so that if people end up on the street because of...

Order of Business (21 Oct 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I agree with Deputy Gilmore and oppose this proposal. The Dáil should meet tomorrow and all next week on Committee Stage in the Dáil as a whole to deal with the NAMA legislation. There was an opportunity for the Government to allow that and allow Members, who are interested in contributing on the NAMA debate, to contribute continuously. Given the scale of the proposal being put before...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...siar. Caithfidh an Rialtas éisteacht ceart a thabhairt do moltaí na ndaoine ar cad ba chóir dúinn a dhéanamh leis an slám mór airgid a chuirfear ar strae má théimid dul síos bóthar NAMA. Inné, d'eisigh mé preasráiteas mar gheall ar iad siúd le morgáistí. Dúirt an ESRI go mbeidh 35,000 duine i gcruachás maidir leis an morgáiste atá acu, ó thaobh a tithe de, sa...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: .... I asked that Members who have shares in the banks declare their interests when speaking in the Dáil. I also asked that they should exclude themselves, because they have a vested interest in NAMA succeeding. To my knowledge, nobody has acknowledged that they have shares in the banks. Their excuse is that they publish their interests in the register of interests every year. That...
